CHAMBERSBURG -- State Troopers from the Chambersburg barracks just announced they arrested a 17 yr old male from Southhampton Township, Franklin County for terroristic threats.

On Feb. 28, a man contacted the FBI because he saw a threat posted in an online chat room. The threat was to "shoot up" three elementary schools in Carlisle Township. According to police, no specific schools were named.

The FBI, with help from the Pennsylvania State Police, were able to trace the online threats back to the juvenile.

The juvenile admitted to posting the threats but explained it was just to increase the conversation in the particular chat room. The charges were filed at Franklin County Juvenile Probation.
